MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia college student said she
felt powerless to stop a short-tempered Ben Roethlisberger from
having sex with her in a bar bathroom even though she told him to
stop, telling investigators: “I’m a little girl and he’s a big
boy.”

Her interviews with police were among more than 50 audio and
video clips released Wednesday from the investigation into
Roethlisberger’s late-night carousing in a Georgia college town, a
sordid incident that didn’t result in criminal charges but
reinforced his reputation for petulant behavior.

The DVDs offered the first extensive account by the accuser, who
hasn’t spoken publicly, as well as less than a minute of shaky
Roethlisberger footage from the club. With loud music blaring, the
Pittsburgh Steelers star asks a girl what her drink tastes like,
doles out high-fives, strikes a pose, punches his fist in the air
twice and flashes a huge grin for the camera.

Before the night was done, he was accused of sexually assaulting
a 20-year-old woman, who said she didn’t try to fight him off
because he appeared to anger easily. The local prosecutor
determined there wasn’t enough evidence to warrant criminal charges
after the investigation concluded, and he said the woman ultimately
asked him not to prosecute the quarterback.

The accuser was interviewed twice by police — the first time
shortly after she made the accusation early March 5, and a second
time about 12 hours later at the police station.

The woman sounded intoxicated when she spoke with Milledgeville
officer Jason Lopez in the first interview. Her words were slurred
and she even says at one point, “Obviously, I’m drunk.” An audio
recording of that interview was made.

During the first interview, she said she repeatedly told
Roethlisberger, “I really don’t think this is OK,” but couldn’t
stop him from having sex with her.

“I don’t know what I can … do,” she said. “I’m a little girl and
he’s a big boy.”

The accuser told police she is 5-foot-4 and weighs 145 pounds.
Roethlisberger is listed at 6-5 and 241 pounds.

Lopez asked the woman if she knew why Roethlisberger would feel
“it was OK to do this to you.”

While the accuser acknowledged wearing an explicit name tag,
which was left over from a friend’s birthday party earlier in the
night, she denied leading him on.

“I wasn’t forward in any way,” she said. “I wasn’t like, ‘Oh my
gosh, have sex with me because you’re an NFL superstar.”’

The next afternoon, the woman went to the police station for a
follow-up interview that was videotaped. She was calm and
matter-of-fact when discussing the previous night, struggling to
remember a few details but adamant that she had been assaulted by
Roethlisberger. She said he first exposed himself to her in a
hallway, then followed her into the bathroom.

In the video, the woman’s face was blurred. She was wearing a
navy blue T-shirt and jeans had her blond hair pulled back. She
told police she didn’t think trying to fight Roethlisberger would
stop the assault.

“I figured it wouldn’t help anything,” she said. “I didn’t want,
obviously, him to hurt me any more than he was going to.”

She said she also feared his temper.

“I noticed throughout the night he kind of had like a short
temper, like he would get really, like, defensive,” she said, but
didn’t elaborate on what made her think the quarterback had a short
temper.

The videos are the most extensive account yet by the accuser,
though written statements she gave investigators have been
released. She has not returned calls seeking comment. The
Associated Press generally doesn’t name those who say they were
sexually assaulted.

Nicole Biancofiore, a friend of the accuser, also said she saw
Roethlisberger flash his temper when another friend hesitated to
accept drinks from him.

“She said, ’I don’t think we should.’ I turned back around and
he got really angry. He said, ’Forget it. You’re done. That’s it,”’
Biancofiore told investigators.

In Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger took part in a Steelers practice
session but didn’t talk with the media. He was escorted off the
field by a team spokesman.

The quarterback was suspended for the first six games of the
upcoming season, though commissioner Roger Goodell said he could
reduce it to four games if Roethlisberger shows he is committed to
improving his off-the-field behavior.

Goodell has said the 28-year-old failed to meet the league’s
expectations for player behavior with his late-night antics.

One of the new videos shows the quarterback partying at the club
where the accusation was made. The shaky 49-second video, shot by a
member of his entourage, shows the quarterback wearing a black Nike
baseball cap and black T-shirt with a devil’s face on it. Most of
what Roethlisberger is saying is drowned out by loud music in the
club.

Roethlisberger also is being sued in Nevada by a woman who says
he sexually assaulted her there in 2008. There were no charges
brought in that case.

His attorney has denied he did anything wrong in Georgia, where
the 28-year-old player owns a lake house near Milledgeville.

Ed Joyner, a Pennsylvania state trooper who’s a friend of
Roethlisberger and sometimes works as his personal assistant, said
people were mobbing the quarterback all night.

“If he starts talking, I mean, he’s like a magnet. They come and
they come hard,” Joyner told police. “These girls, I mean, they
were all just one right after another. And then there was guys too.
I mean the guys were pretty heavy too.”

At Steelers practice, several teammates said they didn’t even
know the DVDs were being released.

“It’s not even something that’s being discussed,” backup
quarterback Charlie Batch said. “It has nothing to do with
football.”

Offensive lineman Willie Colon — the only teammate with
Roethlisberger at the Georgia nightclub — said he hasn’t spoken
with Roethlisberger about the case since the recordings came
out.

“All I can do is just deal with whatever comes along with it,”
he said. “I just want to let everybody know I have a family and I’m
a good man and I spoke freely in my interview” with Georgia
investigators.

Colon’s hourlong interview with a GBI agent was one of the
videos released Wednesday. He shed little light on the case, saying
he didn’t even know anything had occurred until he saw police at
the club. He wasn’t with Roethlisberger afterward, leaving in a
separate car, though he was concerned about what impact the
accusations would have.

“I’m a player, too,” Colon told the officer in his interview. “I
can’t get in trouble. We’ve got to be more cautious about putting
(ourselves) in situations where people can harm us.”
